I just spoke to a very close male friend who deals with all my craziness. He informed me that Valentine's Day is a 'girls holiday' and that we don't need to get our boys any gifts. He said the only gift that was necesarry is 'panty lines.' (Which I personally think is weird... but that's the kind of guy he is. I can now add him to the growing list of men who think panty lines are sexy. Yuck!)  So, I don't know if people agree, but I'm all for not having to pressure myself about what cute, romantic gift I can get for my baby!

Yeah, what if we just rocked their world and didn't give them anything to unwrap or eat - would they notice or even care?

We dont really exchange gifts. Sometimes he buys me a rose or two, and then a box of chocolates for himself that i get a piece or two of.  We take turns making plans (either cooking or going out for dinner) and usually have a little fun afterwards.  I think this came from being poor college kids and then being long distance for 2 years! Recently ive been adding in some Victorias Secret items though.I still remember our first Vday and what got our Vday tradition started... we had only been dating like 2 weeks, and i wanted to do something cute and sweet SOOOO bad, so to not come across too needy (i hadnt had a BF on Vday in years), i casually asked him over to dinner. I didnt even call it Vday dinner, just dinner, and i made it sound like i was already planning on cooking. I guess it worked huh? And my favorite Vday memory... We hadnt seen each other in 2 months and i took the train up to Philly. As i can up the escalator, there he was with 3 red roses and a little box of chocolates. Seemed like a scene from a movie!

I don't think I'm going to get my honey anything for V-day. I never was much of a fan for this day. It's so commercialized. I don't expect much either. He's gotten me a box of chocolates and a chocolate flower...can't remember what else. We will probably just go out for a dinner this weekend. No big thing planned. I asked him what he wants and he said "all I want is to be with you." =) That's all I really want too. This will be our 5th V-day together!

haha, boys may play like they're all tough... but they want to feel special and loved too!!! though i don't really find vday important... but i try to figure little surprises for him once in a while, just so he knows that i am thinking of him. though last year for vday, with a LOT of my dad's help, i made a big memory box for us. it's something like 24 inches x 12 x12. ok, so i mostly stood there and watched while my dad did everything- though i did hold things still once in a while.. and eventually stained it. but we save lots of things in there- special movie tickets, pictures, invitations from weddings, silly stuffed animals, and our scrapbook- anything special to us. and that went over pretty well.. and it's useful too!

I'll probably get my bf a card and maybe a cute little 'I love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much book.' I believe in the past I didn't get him anything and he was okay with that. But since I'm hunting for a ring this year...

I don't do a big V-day thing. We were in the car the other night and there came a commercial on the radio, "Guys are you sick of wondering what to get your girl? We have the perfect gift..." and I was about to turn off the car but he grabbed my hand to stop me because he wanted to listen to their perfect solution. I just looked at him and I said, "You know you don't have to get me anything for Valentine's, right?" and he kinda rolls his eyes and goes, "Yeah, uh-huh." And I give him a looooooong look, and I say, "No, seriously. You don't have to get me anything. We're both broke, I don't really care for the holiday, and you can save the money for my birthday in three weeks, heheh. " I prefer Vdays that are all about spending time together, doing something fun and hearing him say something sweet, than about figuring out what to get each other.

My man and I are truly pathetic We ALWAYS agree before any holiday or event on spending very little on each other. I usually double the given budget and he usually shatters that poor budget into smithereens. It's almost become a game now.But this V-day I definatley win because I know he has spent less than me, Mwa hahahaha! I got him davidoff cool waters cologne, silk boxers and an asterix and obelix book (don't ask, you don't want to know) We are such kids!
